its not that impressive, i think it depends on how much you need. if you need consistent 450-500lm ish, then wuben is the way to go, however, if you’re ok with maybe 200-300lm, then sp40 is much better
The sp40 may be the only headlight available with 3000k (shipped from china). No moonlight but a simple UI and micro USB. Can’t keep the clip on while in the headlight strap and that applies to most headlights. The Wowtac a2s is a strong contender at 30 bucks. I think the Armytek pro series including the brand new C2 has got to be the best all around headlight and with the clip on the tail end you can keep it on in the head strap. The UI sounds impossible when you read it but once you’ve done it a few times it’s very simple. We don’t know for sure that the new one is high CRI but it likely is. “Warm” and “white” labels/options. 3 moonlights, 3 turbos, 3 in the middle. 3500mah high drain battery. Magnetic charging, magnetic base. Wide smooth beam pattern. Plus other things that you don’t get in others. I don’t know what more you could ask for.
Sir, you comparing hi-cri with crap-cri ? What is Osram P6? I cant find data sheet for it even.
RC says that CRI doesn’t matter for this application. And some of us can’t tell 70 CRI apart from 95 CRI (myself included).
Why must we care about cri all the time? Im not colour blind, i know what its supposed to be, i aint trying to paint in the dark, just need to see what things are where
Thanks for the great advice! I just went on Acebeam’s site and saw the H60 FULL SPECTRUM HEADLAMP:
“ Acebeam H60 utilizes the new SunLike TRI-R technology for high CRI (>97) and TLCL ratings with spectral distribution as close to the sunlight as possible”
Ha those are crazy looking. Daddy want
goddamn those spider eyes…
I bet at some point someone will have a LEP headlamp. Like the Acebeam W30 flashlight
that would be pretty dope…
…if you’re a Dalek.
If you don’t have a D-10 Boruit .... my only question is why not?
im new here but is boruit a good brand? i have their 4000mah 18650…seems kinda sus
It’s a great light and it’s ten bucks
punches way above it’s weight class
Great budget lights for the money are the reason the forum exists
take the time to read what a 100 members who have one think about the light.
I wouldn’t trust that battery, since they definitely just grabbed a cheap Chinese cell and wrapped their name around it.
But in terms of flashlights, Boruit’s a decent budget brand - lots of features for a low price. They’re the same manufacturer that makes the D25S and S11C lights that Sofirn sells, in case you wanted other examples to look up.
ohh, so sofirn rebrands another manufacturers lights? i thought they make their own…
Well, most of the lights Sofirn sells are designed and manufactured by themselves. These are a couple of lights that are exceptions - lights that had an interesting design, so Sofirn had them manufactured with a customized LED/UI.
They’ve got another headlamp like this planned, with a red and white LED: [77outdoor] High CRI + RED 660nm dual led headlamp D25LR
I ordered the Sofirn/Boruit D25S from Amazon on Saturday and got it Sunday. I used the Sofirn discount code and checked the $2.00 discount box and got the light for $19.59 before tax. It’s a nice headlamp.
I ordered the Boruit D10.
If I don't like it, I'll give it to my family.
They're not too picky about tint like I am.
If I can get a find a good deal, I might order the Lumintop HL3A for myself.
I wasn't able to use a decent promo code for 11/11, (I didn't realize that the promo codes don't last very long) so I may have to wait until AliExpress has another sale.
Maybe my comparison would be helpful:
I will add SP40 later, but it is very good headlamp for the price.
